Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, is dead.
He was 99.
The longest-serving consort of any British monarch had spent 65 years supporting the Queen before he retired from his public role in 2017.

The Duke of Edinburgh helped set a new course for the monarchy under a young queen, championing Britain itself, as well as environmental causes, science and technology.
